"You say, Nine Dubois, that she mas ap-

brought her to Vile d'Avray In my opinion
that is a good symptom and showed awaken

With knees that almost refused their burden,
and eyes almost blinded with unshed tears,
Roger, sitting bis cry breath, crept after the
doctor to verify or lose lis last hope and
with ono last prayer to God for strength to
hear the disappointment if so it was to be, he
looked through the curtains as the light fell
upon tic sleeping face of his beloved wife.
Yes, it was She Her rich, dark hair lay in
massive waves ana CurlS upon the white pill
lows, and the marble white brow was that
he had so often kissed. Those beautiful blue
veincd lids with the deicately pencilcd brows,
and thick, long lashes hid the tender "vns of
Henrietta, which were the indoyo-
so noble and pure. The pcrfrc.
